If you've seen me in the last 24 hours or you follow me on twitter you will be well aware today is my first day off in 25 days and yes I'm quite happy about this. Even more so because I am back at home, last night I got to see my wonderful friends and today am off to Green Man festival with my favourite people. I'm one happy lady!

So before I head off to the Black Mountains for 4 days of music and fun I thought i'd pop up a little outfit post from last week. Quite a simple outfit and yes i'm wearing shorts for the first time this summer. There's a colour in my wardrobe that reins supreme and obviously it's black - I think it's becoming a problem as it's basically all I wear!!

It's all about the duster coat at the moment and the one i'm wearing here is from H&M - the trend section (sorry I couldn't find it on the website). It's a must have this season and perfect for this time of year when the weather is a slightly confused. The cami is from Topshop and has beautiful lace detailing around the hem. The shorts are from ASOS and they're a really nice stretchy cotton fabric - they're really baggy too so perfect for the warmer days. My Birkenstocks were also from the ASOS website!

By the time Thursday rolls round i'm usually just wishing it was Friday - my go to outfit is normally more casual on a Thursday than a Friday. By Friday i'm happy it's the weekend so often make a little more effort, anyone else know what I mean?! So here is my simple go to easy Thursday outfit. Simple black pleated skirt from H&M, stripe tee from Topshop and my sandals from & other Stories. Nothing fun or exciting about this, it just means I can snooze for an extra 20 minutes ;)

An oldie but a goodie, i've had this co-ord for a few months now and will wear it at any given occasion. I am obsessed. I love the print, and the fact it's a co-ord means you can mix and match. I will definitely be wearing this skirt through autumn/winter - probably with a pair of chelsea boots and a thick black jumper. The top can also be worn with a black pleated midi skirt, it's always nice when you can wear something more ways than one.

I picked this up at Warehouse and I think it's gone into the sale now - it is still available on the website though, see links below (go quick!!). The wedges are from Topshop and i'm sure i've talked about them numerous times before but i'll pop the link below. They're so comfortable and go with any outfit as they're quite casual. As I went to find the link to them I noticed they now come in white... I think there may be a purchase about to happen! The fedora is from H&M and of course the bag is Whistles.

It's Friday, the sun is shining and I'm going home tonight... I don't know what could top that right now!

Anywhoo I've got this shiny new post for you and you want to know the best part? This dress is in the SALE! Pop over to the Zara website and you may be in luck, otherwise i've seen it in a few London Zara's this week so you might find one at your local store. I may have contemplated picking up a second for when my current one gets a bit tired looking, am I the only person who buys more than one of something if you love it that much?! I know it's just a simple stripe dress but it's a really lovely cotton and super lightweight, it's perfect for throwing on when you're popping out for a coffee & newspaper read on a Saturday morning. You don't need to think about it, it's a statement in itself. And to add a little controversy i'm wearing my favourite sandals of all time (sorry not sorry). The marmite of fashion, the Birkenstock. In all honesty whether they're in fashion or not I've always had a pair sitting in my wardrobe. My mum has worn them since I was little, they just remind me of summer holidays so as they're 'on trend' this season I think i'll wear mine every single day...

The bag, again, is my current favourite from Whistles, I can't get enough of it. If you don't fancy lugging around the kitchen sink this is the perfect alternative and adds something a little more glamorous to a very very casual outfit.
